Artificial reef which is a human made underwater structure are used in fisheries management to provide new habitats, increase number and biomass of depleted fishery resources, restore habitats, prevent from illegal fishery, reduce fishing pressure on the fish stock and possibly decrease deterioration of habitats. Fish telemetry offers a number of advantages to reveal novel information on fish behaviour in aquatic habitats for tracking the movement of species. In terms of artificial reefs applications, telemetry is important for monitoring fish movement. In the present review we aimed to focus on fish telemetry studies performed on artificial reefs in Turkey.
